So Many Activities!

This coming weekend (6/12-6/14) is the reason that I own a beach house.  The weather is perfect, we have daylight until after 9 PM, the vacation rental season hasn't quite started yet, and there is stuff going on everywhere at the DE/MD beaches.

Here some stuff you might want to check out:

Friday 7:30 PM  The British Invasion @ Bethany Beach Bandstand (Beatles tribute band)

Close your eyes and pretend it's the Beatles

Friday 8:00 PM  Love Seed Mama Jump @ Rehoboth Beach Bandstand (guitar-driven rock & pop)

Friday - Sunday  Rehoboth Beach Vegfest  to promote healthy, humane eating offers planned activities, as well as a free festival on Saturday with lots of family-centered events scheduled.  Check out their web site for more detailed info.

Saturday - Sunday  The OC Air Show is back in town and, this year, the US Navy Blue Angels will be making their first performance over the beach/boardwalk.  All performances are pretty easily viewed from the entire length of the boardwalk, but I noticed last year that most of the excitement seems to take place around 15th/16th Sts.  

The US Navy Blue Angels will be heading to OCMD for the Air Show this year

Saturday 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM  5th Annual Surf Swap @ Liquid Surf Shop 19406 Coastal Hwy, Rehoboth Beach.  Includes all kinds of used surfing and water sports equipment;  surfboards, skateboards, paddleboards, bodyboards, skimboards.  For more info, call 302-727-5568.  Rain date is Sunday 6/14. 

Saturday 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM  Playtime at the Beach Dog-friendly happy hour to benefit  DE Humane Association.  Zogg's Raw Bar & Grill @ 1 Wilmington Ave, Rehoboth Beach.  Dogs are welcome, but they must be on a leash.  A portion of all proceeds goes to DHA.

Saturday 7:30 PM  Apex Revolution @ Bethany Beach Bandstand (Country/Rock band)

Saturday 8:00 PM  Glass Onion @ Rehoboth Beach Bandstand (Rock & Roll dance party band)

I'm going to try to hit up as many of these things as possible (well....maybe not the country/rock band in Bethany on Saturday night...and probably not the Vegfest either).  I want to find a used surf board to decorate the rafters in my sun porch, so maybe I'll head up to the Surf Swap @ Liquid on Saturday.  

 I'm looking forward to getting in to town early Thursday or Friday and, if it's anything like last year, seeing the planes for the air show fly over my house as they come in to town. Pretty cool stuff - and really noisy!

If you do find yourself in Bethany this weekend, be sure to check out the progress of the new Bethany Beach Ocean Suites Luxury Hotel on the south end of the boardwalk.  This hotel was supposed to be up and running by Memorial Day.  That didn't happen, so they're hoping for a July 2 opening.  When I took a stroll by there late last month, it looked like they still had a ton of work to do, but they had plenty of people working on the site.  They did a good job of making sure that it blended in well with the feel of the town.  I can't wait to see the finished product.

Real humans can rent a room there next month.

 I'm so glad that my sand chair is finally seeing some action!
